Resurrection Sunday Celebration
This is the day that I like to refer to as “Resurrection Sunday Celebration.”
It was on the first day of the week, very early in the morning that women took spices to the tomb where Jesus’ Body was laid.
It was on that morning they discovered that the tomb was empty, it was on that day two men dressed in clothes that gleamed like lighting stood beside them and asked, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; He has risen!”
(Luke 24:1-6)
It was on that same day two of the followers of Jesus were on their way back to Emmaus, a town about seven miles from Jerusalem.
As they walked they talked about everything that had happened.
As they walked and talked, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them, however, they were kept from recognizing Him.
Jesus wanted to know what they were talking about so they took time to tell Him everything.
They told about how the chief priest and the rulers handed Christ over to be sentenced to death by crucifixion.
They told Jesus that it was now the third day since all this took place and they said, “In addition, some of our women amazed us.
They went to the tomb early this morning, but did not find His body.
They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said, ‘He was alive!’
Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said…” (Luke 24:13-24)
After listening, Jesus Christ sets the example for us all.
He exercises His Holy Spirit anointing of prophet and responds to their statements.
In His introduction to their statements He does not present a joke or emotional story.
He says, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory?" (Luke 24:25-26)
After showing true love by pointing out a major spiritual heart problem, Jesus goes on with the charge to the soldier of Christ, “Preach the Word.”
(2 Timothy 4:2) Luke 24:27 says, “And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, [Jesus] explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself.”
After reaching the village Jesus took bread with them and gave thanks.
As the two were taking the bread their eyes were open and they recognized Him, then He disappeared from their sight.
I love their response, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32)
Naturally, these two disciples were very excited, they made their way back to Jerusalem, found the eleven and those with them.
Upon their arrival they were told the Lord had appeared to Simon.
The two told their story about seeing Jesus.
The Bible says, “While they were still talking about this, Jesus Himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’" (Luke 24:36)
During this meeting some powerful truths were presented.
These truths are, Jesus proving He was physically alive, the giving of the Great Commission and Jesus giving the promise of the Holy Spirit for empowerment of the New Testament Church.
The truth the Holy Spirit wants you to grasp today from this meeting that was held on Resurrection Sunday lays the foundation for Christians to enjoy the abundant life in Christ and live a victorious life over the flesh, the world and the lies of the devil.
During that meeting the Bible says, “[Jesus] opened their mind so they could understand the Scriptures.”
(Luke 24:45)
I would propose to you that the foundation to living a victorious life in Christ is to have the risen Savior open your mind so you can understand the Holy Scriptures.
The beloved John tells us Jesus breathed on the disciples in that meeting and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
(John 20:22)
Just what does the Holy Spirit, who raised Christ from the dead and now lives in you (Romans 8:10) have to enable you to live a victorious life in this sin-stricken world?
The Christ who never sinned and got victory over sin and death sets the example for beating temptation.
Satan lies to people, and he has the amazing ability to use the sinful nature and the lures of the world to cause people to walk outside of God’s will.
Listen closely as I read Jesus’ example in Matthew 4:1-11, “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
The tempter came to Him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’
Jesus answered, ‘It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' Then the devil took Him to the holy city and had Him stand on the highest point of the temple.
‘If you are the Son of God,’ he said, ‘throw yourself down.
For it is written: He will command His angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'
Jesus answered him, ‘It is also written: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
‘All this I will give you,’ He said, ‘if you will bow down and worship me.’
Jesus said to Him, ‘Away from me, Satan!
For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.' Then the devil left Him, and angels came and attended Him.” (Matthew 4:1-11) Let us pray!!!!!
The truths found in our key text today lay the foundation for enabling Christians to live victoriously over the flesh, the lures of this world and the lies of the devil.
Led of the Holy Spirit of God
One key truth to catch today is being led of the Holy Spirit of God.
Our key text says, “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit…” (Luke 4:1) Romans 8:14 says, “…those who are led by the [Holy] Spirit of God are sons of God.”
Our key text is powerful teaching on how Jesus was able to stay sinless before God our Father and Romans 8:14 is found in the context of winning over the sinful nature.
(Romans 8:1-17)
There are two key words in Romans that are worth grasping the meanings of so we can lay down a firm foundation against all that Satan and this sin cursed world can throw against us.
The first word is “sons” (huios) referring to Christians who have the character of the Lord.
It is not only belonging to the family of God but living like or acting like being part of His family.
This word describes those who are governed by the Holy Spirit of God.
Spiritually this word is describing Christians who belong to God and are in close relationship with the Lord.
“Sons” here has the application of meaning mature enough in the Lord to take on adult family privileges and responsibilities.
“Sons” in Romans 8:14 is that unique character describing Christians who are submitted to the guiding of the Holy Spirit and enabled to walk in obedience as the Lord leads them into all truth and in their duties to Christ Jesus.
This Spirit of adoption gives the children of God a great privilege.
Christians are led by the Holy Spirit as scholars are led in learning by a tutor, as travelers are led on a journey by their guide and as soldiers are led in their engagements by their commanding officer.
Holy Spirit illumination of the Greek Word for “led” (ago) enables Christians to live victoriously because they are being carried along by the power of the Holy Spirit in life’s trials and empowered to overcome temptations.
The Holy Spirit literally enables Christians to keep their faith and grasp His strength in all trials of life.
This intimate relationship with the Lord makes assessable all the power needed for beating temptations of all kinds.
1 John 5:3-5 says, “This is love for God: to obey His commands.
And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.
This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
Who is it that overcomes the world?
Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
Nearly twenty years ago, my mother-in-law, Doris Stump was selling her house out on the farm.
The people came by and looked.
Being the honest woman she is she told them everything she could remember.
The buyers looked the house over and decided to buy.
After they left she remembered that there might be some termite damage in a portion of the home.
She thought, “well I should call them.
Then that worldly thinking came in, “They looked things over real good and it wasn’t on purpose that I forgot.”
The Holy Spirit started working on her heart, and she trusted the Lord to give her strength to love truth.
She knew if the people backed out, the Lord was able to raise up a buyer in His timing.
She called and apologized and told them of the possible termite problems.
They thanked her and I can’t remember how it all worked out, but the house was sold.
I do remember Doris driving up to go to church with us and take us out to eat.
After dinner she told of this incident.
Doris just glowed with so much Holy Spirit joy, saying so excitedly, “That means, I am an overcomer, I beat the flesh and the world’s view and was able to cling to truth.”
Every child of God has the opportunity to enjoy the Lord’s pleasure in everyday life situations if they would just desire being led of the Holy Spirit in every situation of life.
Holy Spirit illumination of the Greek Word for “led” (ago) enables Christians to live victoriously because He guides the children of God.
John 16:13 says, “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.”
Bible reading is not enough.
The Holy Spirit must become our “Counselor.”
The individual indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the specific privilege of Christians for receiving revelation and illumination so they can understand and fulfill the will of God for them.
Just as the Holy Spirit guided the apostles in their proclaiming and writing of the Word of God Christians can grasp God’s truths for living.
The Word of God is quite clear on how to live for the Lord, love our wives, raise our children, treat our fellow man and conduct our affairs down here.
